gardening
I got home from work and, after showering, had a delicious salmon salad my wife made. Then I did some hoeing in the garden and planted out some marrows. Now I need another shower!
My wife has a day off today. I was working, and up at 4 am. She messaged to say that she had been in the garden and mowed the lawn. I had said I would get her to help me with it when I got home. I usually mow, and she rakes up. I’m not complaining, though!
I got some watering done early, as it’s the best time to do it, and also it’s a job done. Alternatively, watering late in the evening is second best.
Here are some strawberries with one of our rose bushes, and grow bags containing four different varieties of potatoes.
I had a lie-in this morning after waking up very early. I did go back to sleep until seven. Coffee now, and a bit of gardening too.
Got the first half dozen runner bean seedlings into the ground this afternoon, and put some canes in too, for future growth.
I got the rest of the seed potatoes into grow bags. I have four types so we shall see how they do. I’ve also planted garlic, and marrow.
I’ve sown more seeds too. Runner Beans, Peas, Chilli Peppers, and various herbs. I’ve also planted out some herbs that are already grown.
Well, I’ve been in my garden three times today. First time I did some weeding and planted out marrow seedlings. 2nd time, I put some seed potatoes in grow bags, and planted some potted herbs into the herb table. Lastly, I decided, on the spur of the moment, to mow the lawn. In between that, I’ve been drinking coffee and listening to music.
This morning, I planted out the marrow seedlings I had sown 2-3 weeks ago. I don’t think we’re likely to get any more frost. Fingers Crossed.
Today, I put the marrow seedlings that I had sowed a couple of weeks ago, into the garage ready to plant out. I sowed tomatoes, runner beans, peas, and chilli peppers, and put those onto sunny window sills to get them to germinate.
